Once again, Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell is advancing his petty international politics and mixing it with city affairs through another one of his proclamations. Just because Federal Way has a big number of immigrants here that are concentrated from certain countries of the world, doesn’t mean that Federal Way has to take up their native lands’ politics. Much of it is none of our business and it’s none of our broader nation’s business. Particularly the foreign wars that various people try to drag us into.

Ferrell appears to like the glitz and glamour of dabbling into foreign matters more than he likes attending to Federal Way matters. Our Mark would put a quick stop to all of the foreign dabbling if he ever became mayor, which he hasn’t announced for again yet, and that includes ending the city’s globalist stuff, and, perhaps, switching the international “sister cities” program to “American cities partnerships”, thereby reaching out to cities, towns and boroughs like Brooklyn, New York; Detroit, Michigan; Mount Airy, North Carolina; South Bend, Indiana; and Salt Lake City, Utah, to name a few. If Ferrell likes foreigners so much, maybe he should have gotten in touch with Biden and asked the president to appoint him as ambassador to wherever his heart desires while he was in Washington, D.C. earlier this year. Meanwhile, we’re an American nation and Mark would cater to our own people and attend to our own people’s business, not foreigners…if he were mayor.

Mark, if he ran and got elected, would also close the diversity commission, the diversity programs and any other such unnecessary involvement by the city. It is all well and good for people to have special interests that don’t pertain to the entirety of the city but, like anybody else that has a niche, you are free to form your own organizations and programs without the city being involved. The early pioneers of progress for their particular group movements in America usually didn’t try to get governments so intrinsically involved with their business. People like Susan B. Anthony and Booker T. Washington, for instance. They might have advocated for certain laws but that was about it (as far as government involvement was concerned). You are free to help people on your own time and dime without a government handout, and moreover, the city has no business in putting a leader of a particular movement on the city payroll just because it looks avant-garde or something, especially if your movement is exclusionary to a certain extent, if not outright so.
